Sora no aosa o shiru hito yo

This movie is about Aioi, a teenage girl who wants to become a star bass guitarist. After Aioi's parents died, her sister Akane gave up her love with her boyfriend, Shinno, who inspired Aioi and also wanted to become a star musician. The movie covers what happens to them after 13 years and how their lives unfold.

The story has good potential to make a good drama film with heavy emotions. The characters are written well as what they want, how the course of life changed them, what their current mindset is, etc. The emotional scenes were good towards the climax. The difference between Shinno and Shinnosuke was that they were written well and contributed to the story.

The story narration and pacing were slow, which made me distracted from the movie. The humour scenes did not work well for me. The movie looked stretched just to make it longer. The story progresses mediocre until the climax, where the emotions are high, but it ends very flat.

The animation is amazing as in some landscapes, the background frames look real. The voice acting was good as I watched it in Sub, which made the emotions connect well. The music was good, but the songs were not admirable. The strength is the strong character's emotions towards the climax. The weakness is the narration & pacing, and it took a long to tell a short story.

In conclusion, I have mixed thoughts as I like the emotions and character arc. But I can't watch it again due to the way they presented it as a film. I would recommend it if you are into the romance/drama genre and can withstand a slow-pacing narration.
